The Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus, DCJ and St. Agnes Home are participating in #igiveCatholic on #GivingTuesday, December 1, 2026. This is a nationally recognized, special day set aside to honor the beauty of our Catholic faith. It offers all of us the opportunity to support the many wonderful Catholic organizations that serve, such as the Carmelite Sisters of the Divine Heart of Jesus, DCJ. Please join us to give thanks and give back!

This year, our #iGiveCatholic campaign focuses on four important needs that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our residents.

Every gift will help us provide:

• Oxygen concentrators to support residents who need supplemental oxygen as part of their care.
• Bedside tables for our Care Center rooms so residents have a convenient place to enjoy meals when dining in their rooms, as well as a spot for personal belongings and everyday essentials. These tables will add comfort, convenience, and a greater sense of home.
• New chairs for our therapy gym to support residents during physical therapy and rehabilitation as they work toward their individual goals.
• Rolling digital scales to help our care team monitor residents' weights as part of their ongoing health assessments and care.

These may seem like simple items, but each serves an important purpose in the daily lives of the people we care for. The right medical equipment helps our team monitor and support residents' health, while comfortable and functional furnishings make everyday routines and therapeutic activities more accessible.

Your generosity can make a tangible difference. Whether you give a little or a lot, your contribution helps St. Agnes Home meet these important needs and continue our mission of caring for each resident with compassion, dignity, and respect.

During this season of giving, we invite you to join the St. Agnes Home family in putting faith into action through generosity and compassion, helping ensure our residents receive the care, comfort, and support they deserve. 

We invite you to make your donation today—either by check or online through our St. Agnes Home website at www.stagneshome.com. Donations made through the St. Agnes Home website or by check can be received anytime from now through December 1, 2026, to be included in the #iGiveCatholic campaign.  If you prefer to make a year-end gift outside of the December 1 deadline, we are still most grateful to receive your donation at a time that works best for you. Please add #igiveCatholic on the memo line of your check to ensure your gift is directed towards this fundraiser.

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT! A generous donor has pledged to match $5,000 in donations when we reach our initial $5,000 fundraising goal! Help us unlock this incredible opportunity to raise additional funds for the residents of St. Agnes Home. Every gift brings us closer to our goal and helps us provide the essential medical equipment and furnishings our residents need.   $10,000 is the actual goal to cover the cost of these items.
